kits themed: Opposites, Going to School, Doctors, Dentists/Teeth, Manners and Machines.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I’ve had a lot of experience with the “Books To Grow On” Collection at King County Library System and I know it will always be challenging for staff to keep
these items circulating in top shape. The need for double checking for parts at check in and check out is super important but I feel this collection is extremely worthwhile and we’re going the extra mile to make sure we have these resources at Sherman County
Public School Library. Good Luck with your project Jana!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<br>
<span style="background:white">Thanks to a generous grant of Continuity Funds from Sherman County, we have created a new collection of "Discovery Kits". A themed EARL<span class="textexposedshow">Y LEARNING KIT for teachers, parents and caregivers of children.
Topics so far include: Colors, Ready to Read, Shapes, Our Earth, Five Senses, and Friends.</span><br>
<br>
<span class="textexposedshow">What’s in it?</span><br>
<span class="textexposedshow">Lots of read aloud books, books for emergent readers, audio and video discs and hands on materials like games and toys for young ones to enjoy, plus teacher guides and Early Learning tip sheets for caregivers of infants, toddlers
and preschoolers.</span><br>
<br>
<span class="textexposedshow">What can you do with it?</span><br>
<span class="textexposedshow">Plan lessons for classrooms or use them at home to create super learning environments for children, giving them a fun and effective way to become ready for school and learning</span><br>
<br>
<span class="textexposedshow">These will begin circulating at the preschools and daycares in Sherman County and then will become available for anyone to check out right off the shelf!<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p>
